Reliable Solar Power for Remote Security

Installing security cameras in a remote location can be challenging when there is no convenient mains power supply.

The VIGI SP18090 solar power system provides an integrated solution by combining solar generation, battery storage and intelligent power management into one system.

During daylight hours, the solar panels generate electricity to power connected equipment and recharge the battery. Stored energy can then be used when solar generation is unavailable, helping maintain power for surveillance equipment around the clock.

The system is designed to work with suitable VIGI surveillance and networking equipment, making it an ideal choice for creating an off-grid security camera system.

 

180W Dual Solar Panel System

The VIGI SP18090 uses two 90W photovoltaic panels, providing 180W of total solar panel capacity.

The panels can be manually positioned at 5°, 15°, 25°, 35°, 45° or 55°, allowing the installation to be adjusted for the site and available sunlight.

Correct panel positioning is important for solar installations, particularly in Australia where sunlight conditions vary significantly between locations and seasons.

 

High-Capacity 93.6Ah Lithium Battery

The SP18090 can accommodate up to three 31.2Ah lithium battery modules, providing a maximum battery capacity of 93.6Ah at 10.95V.

The modular battery configuration allows the system to be configured according to the requirements of the connected equipment and installation.

TP-Link specifies more than 500 battery cycles, with its published example based on a VIGI C540-4G installation. Actual runtime will depend on the connected equipment, solar exposure, environmental conditions and system configuration.

 

Intelligent MPPT Solar Charging

The VIGI SP18090 incorporates an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charging controller to optimize solar energy collection.

Rather than simply relying on basic solar charging, MPPT technology continuously manages the relationship between the solar panels and battery system to help make effective use of available solar energy.

This is particularly valuable for remote surveillance installations where maintaining battery charge is critical.

 

Built for Australian Outdoor Conditions

The SP18090 is designed for outdoor deployment, with an IP66 weatherproof rating for the system and IP67 protection for the solar panels.

The system supports operation from -30°C to 60°C when intelligent auxiliary heating is used, helping it operate across a wide range of environmental conditions.

Intelligent auxiliary heating can assist battery operation in low temperatures, with TP-Link specifying heating-supported charging from -30°C to 45°C and discharging from -30°C to 60°C.

 

Three DC Outputs

The VIGI SP18090 provides three DC power outputs for connected equipment:

• Output 1: 9–12.6V DC / 2A
• Output 2: 9–12.6V DC / 2A
• Output 3: 12V DC / 2A

This makes the system suitable for powering compatible cameras and networking equipment without requiring a conventional AC mains supply.

Always check the voltage and power requirements of your equipment before installation.

 

Remote Monitoring & Intelligent Management

The VIGI SP18090 isn’t simply a solar panel and battery.

Its intelligent management features allow installers and operators to monitor important system information remotely.

Depending on the configuration, available management features include:

• Battery level monitoring
• Solar generation monitoring
• Real-time load information
• Power consumption statistics
• Three-way load control
• Battery over-discharge protection
• High and low temperature protection
• Remote firmware updates
• Remote reboot and reset
• Schedule management
• Remote message notifications
• Local LAN management

This can reduce the need for unnecessary site visits when managing remote surveillance installations.

 

Ideal for Off-Grid Security Camera Installations

The VIGI SP18090 is designed for situations where conventional power infrastructure isn’t readily available.

 

Rural & Farm Security

Monitor farm entrances, sheds, livestock areas, machinery, fences and remote access points without running mains power across large properties.

 

Construction Sites

Deploy temporary surveillance around construction sites, equipment storage areas, site entrances and perimeter locations where permanent electrical infrastructure may not yet be available.

 

Industrial & Commercial Sites

Provide power for cameras and network equipment around yards, remote buildings, gates, storage areas and other outdoor locations.

 

Remote Gates & Entrances

Create surveillance at gates, driveways and access roads located away from the main building or power supply.

 

Large Outdoor Areas

The solar system can be used as part of a broader surveillance solution for large properties and remote outdoor locations.

 

Remote Infrastructure Monitoring

The SP18090 can also be considered for suitable networking and monitoring equipment where reliable off-grid power is required.

 

VIGI SP18090 + 4G Security Camera

The SP18090 is particularly useful when combined with a compatible 4G security camera, allowing surveillance to be installed where neither mains power nor a conventional wired network connection is readily available.

A typical remote surveillance installation can combine:

Solar panels → VIGI SP18090 controller & battery → 4G security camera

This provides a practical foundation for remote video surveillance without trenching power or network cabling across the site.

For larger or more demanding installations, Total Antenna can help determine the appropriate combination of solar capacity, battery storage, camera and connectivity.
